Help!
Didn't find any threads on this topic. I am just trying to make the car a good looking driver. I have already cleaned prepped and sprayed the plastic dash parts. The remainder of the dash, especially below the glove box, has some scratches. That paint is not just a flat it has a metallic look to it. I have painted 65 mustang dashes years ago when you could go get a quart of lacquer mixed anywhere with the right code.
Can someone give me guidance on what paint to use for a Black 73 dash all the metal parts? What code, type and brand of paint would you suggest. Is there a rattle can color that works?
For the plastic I actually took rattle cans turn them upside down bleed the propellant out and then cut a hole in the bottom and pour the paint out. I then use a small detail gun and spray it and it gives a much better job and you don't have to buy a lot of paint. I keep the remainder of the paint in Mason jar but you have to be sure all the propellant is out it will pressurize the jar.
Well back to the dash.
Thanks,
David
